The goal was to build a powerful and intuitive freelance marketplace for contractors, designed to simplify and modernise the way people hire contractors online. Inspired by platforms like Upwork, this web-based solution allows clients to post construction projects, receive competitive bids from skilled tradespeople, and select the best-fit professionals. Our platform streamlines the contractor hiring process by ensuring transparency, security, and ease of use, ideal for both residential and commercial needs.

Traditional methods of finding and hiring contractors are outdated, often relying on word-of-mouth, manual vetting, and long back-and-forth negotiations. These methods lack transparency in pricing, qualifications, and project timelines. The core challenge was to design a digital solution that solves these inefficiencies by building a contractor bidding platform that feels seamless and trustworthy for clients and contractors alike.

Clients can post contractor jobs with detailed descriptions, timelines, and budgets.

Contractors browse open listings and submit competitive bids, making it a dynamic general contractor bidding site.

Contractors can send custom proposals showcasing their skills, experience, and construction expertise.

An integrated messaging system allows real-time communication, streamlining the contractor-client collaboration process.

Each contractor can build a verified contractor profile highlighting skills, trade licenses, certifications, and a portfolio of completed projects.

Clients can compare profiles, read reviews, and make informed hiring decisions through a freelance platform for skilled trades.

The platform uses escrow payment protection to hold funds until milestones are completed.

Multiple secure payment options support a safe and flexible hiring experience for both sides.

After project completion, clients leave ratings and feedback, helping future users find top-rated contractors for their specific needs.

This trust-building system encourages accountability and professionalism across the platform.

We focused on a user-centred design to make this contractor hiring platform both efficient and approachable:

Clean, minimal UI design for quick navigation.

Clear CTAs for "Post a Project" and "Submit a Bid."

Intuitive dashboards for real-time project tracking.

Fully mobile-responsive design for users on the go.
